Online Course British English vs American English: sample syllabus

The difficulty for non-native learners of English is that there is no standard English form. Despite the many cross-cultural influences, it seems that the vocabularies, spellings and pronunciations of British and American English are diverging year by year. For example, if a Londoner tells a resident of New York that she has left her child’s dummy in the pram and its nappy in the boot, she will merely be greeted with a look of bewilderment. If the New Yorker then tells the London woman that she has nice pants, he may well wonder why she doesn’t seem to take his remark as a compliment.
